In Fiscal Year 2010 the U.S. Department of Transportation made a grant for the Niagara Falls Rail Station in the value of $16,500,000 under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. The TIGER program was originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Grants under this program are subject to Buy America rules, including those set by section 1605 of the ARRA.

The HS codes monitored by the OECD Steel Committee are used to approximate the iron and steel products procured for this project.
